Systems and methods for securely processing content

ABSTRACT

A device may not trust another device with which it is in communication. To establish trust, a first device may send a second device an indication of signed code that is stored in a protected memory of the first device. Based on determining that the first device is a trusted device, the second device may send the first device an encrypted content asset, a decryption key associated with the content asset, and/or an encryption key associated with the content asset.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/811,683, filed Jul. 11, 2022, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/444,401, filed Jun. 18, 2019, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,386,187, issued on Jul. 12, 2022, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

In various systems and operations, such as content transmission or distribution, a content asset may be encrypted. Processing of the content asset may thus require decrypting the content asset. Use of an untrusted computing environment for processing of the decrypted content asset may risk unauthorized access and/or use of the decrypted content asset. Improvements are needed.

SUMMARY

Devices may be in communication with each other via a network. One or more devices may not be trusted by another device associated with the network or by a device outside the network. Systems and methods are described for establishing trust. For example, a network device comprising a protected memory storing signed code may send an indication of the code to a computing device to establish trust. Based on determining that the network device is a trusted device, the computing device may send the network device an encrypted content asset, a decryption key associated with the content asset, and/or an encryption key associated with the content asset.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows an example system 100. The system 100 may comprise a network for distribution of a content asset. The content asset may comprise video content, audio content, image content, and/or other media, as examples. The content asset may be stored, such as by a content distributor and/or a content asset rights holder. The stored content asset may be secured, such as to prevent unauthorized access to the content asset. For example, the stored content asset may be secured by encryption (e.g., at-rest encryption).

The content asset distribution network may comprise a coordinator device 102, one and/or more packagers 106 a, 106 b, a license server 108, a media storage device 110, and/or a user device 112. The system 100 may comprise a networked computing environment. The networked computing environment may comprise a cloud computing environment, a hosting service computing environment, and/or a public server computing environment.

The networked computing environment may comprise a network device 104. The network device 104 may comprise an untrusted network device. The network device 104 may comprise a networked computing device, such as a computing device in a cloud computing network, a computing device controlled by a third party, a computing device of a hosting service (e.g., a web hosting service), and/or a public server. The network device 104 may use data, such as a decryption key, to remove the protections from the content asset. However, giving the network device 104 access to the data may risk unauthorized access to the content asset. For example, based on the network device 104 being compromised, the data stored on the network device 104 may be accessed by an unauthorized device. Using the data, the unauthorized device may decrypt and/or access the content asset. Additionally or alternatively, based on the network device 104 using the data to decrypt the content asset and the network device 104 being compromised, the unencrypted content asset stored on the network device 104 may be accessed by an unauthorized device.

A secure enclave may be installed on the network device 104. The secure enclave may comprise a secure processor and/or secure memory. The secure enclave may comprise a portion of the network device 104 whose state (e.g., registers, memory, etc.) is inaccessible (e.g., not able to be inspected, not modifiable, etc.) except to the secure enclave, once the secure enclave begins execution. The secure enclave may use software guard extensions (SGX). The SGX may comprise a set of central processing unit (CPU) instruction codes. The instruction codes may allow user-level code to allocate private regions of memory (e.g., enclaves). The private regions of memory may be protected from processes running at higher privilege levels. The secure enclave may use hardware Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) extensions. The AES extensions may provide constant-time encryption. The AES extensions may prevent side-channel attacks. The secure enclave may be protected from access and/or modification, such as by privileged code (e.g., OS, VMM, BIO, etc.).

The secure enclave may have access to a full CPU instruction set. The full CPU instruction set may comprise multi-threading and hardware encryption acceleration. Based on having access to the full CPU instruction set, the secure enclave may have minimal impact on performance of the network device 104. The network device 104 may comprise more than one secure enclaves. For example, the network device 104 may have as many secure enclaves as hardware of the network device 104 supports.

The secure enclave may be configured to compute a cryptographic measurement, such as a hash, of a state of the secure enclave. The enclave state may comprise a state of a memory of the secure enclave. The enclave state may comprise a state of one or more registers of the secure enclave. The enclave state may comprise a combination of the state of the enclave memory and the state of the enclave registers.

The cryptographic measurement may comprise a processor feature. The cryptographic measurement may be determined in a secure context. For example, the cryptographic measurement may be determined in using a method configured to prevent privileged software from interfering with and/or altering the measurement. The secure enclave may sign the measurement of the enclave state. For example, the secure enclave may use asymmetric-key cryptography to sign the measurement of the enclave state.

An external client may verify the signature. The external client may comprise a trusted device. The external client may comprise a key server. The external client may verify the signature using the enclave key issuer. The enclave key issuer may comprise a networked computer. The external client may verify the signature to prove that the measurement of the enclave state is authentic. The external client may verify the signature to prove that the measurement of the enclave state has not been tampered with.

The network device 104 may comprise an enclave service. The enclave service may comprise a program running on the network device 104. Another computing device may comprise the enclave service. The enclave service may cause signed enclave code to be loaded to the computing device. The signed enclave code may cause the partition of a portion of memory of the network device 104 as a secure memory.

A key server may comprise a computing device associated with the distributor and/or rights holder of the content asset. The key server may be configured to authenticate other computing devices, such as untrusted network devices, such as the network device 104, requesting the content asset.

The enclave service may cause a remote attestation process to occur between the network device 104 and the key server. The remote attestation process may comprise causing the network device 104 to generate a signed report. The signed report may cryptographically prove an initial state of the secure enclave. The signed report may be received by the key server. Based on the signed report, the key server may determine that the secure enclave is installed on the network device 104. Based on the signed report, the key server may determine that trusted code is running within an environment on the network device 104 that cannot be manipulated, such as by other modules on the network device 104 and/or external computing devices.

Based on determining that the secure enclave is installed on the network device 104, the key server may authenticate the network device 104. Based on authenticating the network device 104, the key server may establish a shared secret with the secure enclave, such as by performing a handshake operation. Establishing the shared secret may comprise sending a shared secret key to the network device 104. The shared secret key may be used for secure subsequent communications. The computing device may store the shared secret key to the secure enclave.

A request for the content asset may be received. The request may be received from a user device, for example. A packaging service computing device (e.g., a packager, etc.) may receive the request. The network device 104 may receive the request. The packaging service send an indication of the request to the network device 104.

Based on the request, the network device 104 may send a request for the content asset. The request may be encrypted using the shared secret key. The network device 104 may send the request for the content asset to the key server. The key server may decrypt the request. Based on the request being encrypted using the shared secret key, the key server may authenticate the network device 104. Based on the request for the content asset and/or authenticating the network device 104, the key server may send a response to the network device 104. The response may comprise a decryption key configured to decrypt the encrypted content asset. The response may comprise a digital rights management (DRM) key. The DRM key may be associated with the user device and/or recipient of the processed content asset. For example, the user device may have the DRM key and/or a key configured to decrypt a content asset that has been decrypted using the DRM key. The response may comprise the encrypted content asset. The computing device may receive the encrypted content asset from a different computing device. The response may be encrypted using the shared secret key.

The computing device may receive the response from the key server. The response may be stored to the secure enclave. The response may be decrypted. The response may be decrypted using the shared secret key. The response may be decrypted by and/or in the secure enclave. The decryption key and/or the DRM key may be determined from the response.

The computing device may receive the encrypted content asset. The computing device may store the encrypted content asset in the secure enclave. The computing device may store the encrypted content asset external to the secure enclave. The computing device may decrypt the encrypted content asset using the decryption key. The computing device may decrypt the encrypted content asset using and/or in the secure enclave. The computing device may re-encrypt the content asset, such as using the DRM key. The computing device may re-encrypt the content asset using and/or in the secure enclave. The computing device may send the re-encrypted content asset to the user device.

Using and/or storing the shared secret key, decryption key, DRM key, and/or content asset in the secure enclave may prevent unauthorized access to the content asset. Processing of the content asset using and/or in the secure enclave may prevent unauthorized access to the content asset.

A secure enclave may have limited memory and/or processing power. A large DRM-protected content asset may be processed in a secure enclave having limited memory and/or processing power by incrementally streaming the encrypted content asset from unprotected memory of the untrusted network device to the secure enclave. The encrypted content asset may be streamed in chunks. The encrypted content asset may be streamed to the secure enclave using stream ciphers, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-128. The content asset may be incrementally processed inside the secure enclave.

The content asset distribution network may send the content asset to the networked computing environment to process the content asset. Processing the content asset may comprise adding a second audio track in a second language to the content asset, re-indexing the content asset, calculating video quality metrics of the content asset, repackaging the content asset into a new container format, translating and/or adding subtitles to the content asset, transcoding the content asset, and/or re-coding the content asset, as examples. Processing the content asset may comprise removing protections from the content asset, such as by decrypting the encrypted content asset. The protections may be removed from the content asset prior to further processing of the content asset.

The seventh signal may be generated in response to a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request received at the packager 212 from a user device. The HTTP request may be associated with the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset. The seventh signal may be generated in response to a command to alter the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset (e.g., add a second language audio track to the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset comprising an audio track in a first language, re-indexing the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset, re-coding the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset, etc.). The packager 212 may send the seventh signal to the enclave service 208.

In response to the seventh signal, the enclave service 208 may cause the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset to be loaded into memory (preprocessing memory). In response to the seventh signal, the enclave service 208 may prepare an area in memory to save a result of processing the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset (post-processing memory).

The one and/or more keys may comprise one and/or more digital rights management (DRM) keys. The ninth signal may be encrypted using the shared secret. The secure enclave 210 may send the ninth signal to the enclave service 208.

At step 256, the enclave service 208 may forward the ninth signal to the key server 206. At step 258, the key server 206 may decrypt the ninth signal. The ninth signal may be decrypted using the shared secret. The key server 206 may validate the request for one and/or more keys. The request for the one and/or more keys may be extracted from the ninth signal. The one and/or more requested keys may be retrieved. The one and/or more requested keys may comprise one and/or more at-rest keys. The one and/or more requested keys may comprise one and/or more DRM keys. The one and/or more requested keys may be associated with the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset.

The key server 206 may prepare a tenth signal. The tenth signal may comprise one and/or more of the one and/or more requested keys. The key server 206 may use the shared secret to encrypt the tenth signal. The key server 206 may send the tenth signal to the enclave service 208.

At step 260, the enclave service 208 may forward the tenth signal to the secure enclave 210. In response to the receiving the tenth signal, the secure enclave 210 may decrypt the tenth signal. The tenth signal may be decrypted using the shared secret. The secure enclave 210 may extract the one and/or more of the one and/or more requested keys from the tenth signal (one and/or more extracted keys). The secure enclave may cache the one and/or more extracted keys.

At step 262, the secure enclave 210 may pull the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset (streamed media) from the preprocessing memory. The enclave service 208 may stream the content asset and/or the media segment associated with the content asset (streamed media) from the preprocessing memory to the secure enclave 210. The secure enclave 210 may load metadata associated with the streamed media into privileged memory. The metadata may comprise an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) base media file format (BMFF) initialization segment. The secure enclave 210 may load the streamed media into the privileged memory. The secure enclave 210 may load the streamed media into the privileged memory in small chunks.
